Turn rectangle on and click a spot on the current layer and then back to pencil. You don't select "on another layer" since the selection is image-wide. When you have a selection, most tools apply to those pixels of the active layer that are also covered by the selection mask. Of course this assumes that these two have a non-empty intersection. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

The file format of the image you are working on (better yet -- upload it somewhere and link to it), availability of layers/masks in the project. 3. Paintbrush settings.

If you can't find the tool setting that went sour you have better rename your Gimp profile to have Gimp restart with the defaults (http://gimpforums.com/thread-what-is-my-gimp-profile-and-where-do-i-find-it). I had this issue on every single image, even on new, blank ones. I solved the problem by uninstalling the software again and deleting every GIMP-related folder in C:\Users\(nameoftheuser)\ A fresh install then did the trick; go figure...thanks a bunch for your reply though. I'm pretty sure that erasing the Gimp folder under C:\Users\(nameoftheuser)\ would have been enough. Reinstalling software on Windows is mostly a way to reinstate the proper values in a corrupted registry, but Gimp doesn't use the registry. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

First and foremost a disclaimer: english isn't my mother tongue and I'm using GIMP in my own language so the tools names translation might not be 100% accurate. Also, I hope I haven't posted in the wrong section of the forum, if so, I apologize. Been using GIMP (2.8 and just switched to the latest one) for a while now, it's been nearly a year on this PC (Windows 7 64 bit, relatively recent hardware, 8 Gb of RAM, etc.) and it's worked smoothly up until a couple of days ago when it stopped working as intended all of a sudden for some reason. Whether I use my Wacom tablet or the mouse none of the tools that normally allow you to draw (pencil, brush, airbrush, etc.) work anymore (cropping, distorting the image and the likes work fine though), doesn't matter if it's a brand new document or an old file. The funny thing is that when I go to the "Edit" menu it'll allow me to rollback and undo whatever I did with the aforementioned tools, even though there's no trace of it on the empty canvas itself. I tried to uninstall and install the software back but it didn't do the trick. This is really irking me as I'm working on an illustration that is due in a week and I basically had to stop working on it altogether because I haven't been able to get rid of this problem (also I can't seem to find anything about this specific issue on the net). Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point. If you need more info just let me know and I'll provide it asap. Thanks in advance.
